The lady’s that made this program did an amazing job. its very educational and would recommend this to other people.
This was helpful, informative and very useful
Excelente información para mi aprendizaje…gracias
Good
This was a fine course and gave me the information I needed to pass the exam. However, there were quite a few typos throughout and the voice was clearly AI and robotic. It wasn’t very engaging and I wish there had been more “practice questions” after each section.
This information should be shared with everyone. It will help keep people safe at home and in restaurants. Anyone eating or cooking should follow these procedures.
First of all, I can’t stand the automated voice. with thousands of people paying almost 10 dollars per card, you can pay a voice actor to do your course. Do not participate in the choking out of talented jobs.
Secondly, what’s with the spelling and grammar errors? I regret supporting this course but unfortunately I already have so you can keep my money.
It was educational

I took this course to become educated when it comes to food handling and found it very insighful.
It’s saying we should all change gloves every 4 hours between tasks. After doing dirty jobs with the gloves on or if the glove rips, we all wash our hands first and then put on new gloves. Not only that, I knew that chicken is supposed to be cooked at a higher temperature then beef, steak, and salmon. temperature danger zone, food cools down for more than 4 hours. Reheating is not gonna do ANYTHING. A crumb on the floor brings bugs and when there’s bugs, the foods are being contaminated again and it’s biological hazard. When we wash hands 20, turn off the faucet with your elbow or turn off the faucet with the paper towel and then air dry and use your feet to kick open the push door or use the paper towel to pull the door open. Chicken, beef, fish, and salmon should be WAY WAY below the ready to eat foods. COMPLETELY AT THE BOTTOM. Food should be stored 6 in off the ground. Everything in this world have germs, Your phone has germs, Cash has germs, anything. I can’t describe which thing has the most germs. We can do all to prevent it from spreading. No matter how delicious it looks, if you eat food from the floor, it’s biological hazard. So I learned 65% of it
This class was very helpful in preparing me to open up my business. I would recommend it to anyone who is planning on opening up a business in food or bev. They modules are easy to follow and the course makes it easy to leave and pick up where you left off if you are are busy person!
Very informative
Good course
I thought this training was super informative and well-structured. It covered everything at a good talking pace as well. Most trainings can be super slow so I appreciated that.

I have taken this course the traditional way with text books and paper over the past twenty years. I learn best when course information is presented by visual and auditory means. The course also allows yoiu to redo both modules and review questions for each unit. I was totally impressed with how the course was set up. With no reservations, I highly recommend take this Food Manager course.
I feel like it covered everything about allergen info.
Its more interesting than boring. And plenty of useful information for your business and home
Very convenient and thorough!
As to mentioned above training is never fun…but with that said you made a course that could be unbearably boring and made it interesting and fairly easy to follow and remember. Thank you.
This training is very informative
Just pay attentions, listen and its best to do it in a quiet area where there is no distraction.
User friendly. Direct and hits everything you need to know.
Easy and fast’ thank you!

Very helpful in learning or refreshing already learned lessons
I’ve worked in the food business plenty of time and so I believe that this was a good little test to give for anyone that is interested in working in a kitchen.
